do riding boots need to be completely flat on the bottom or can they have sort of like spikes, like hiking boots?

[aokamins11]

@ya2feld Usually riding boots don't have deep tread.

Your videos are very informative and you seem very friendly too. Do you give lessons in the New York area?

[aokamins11]

@Simba92 Aw, thank you! In fact, I do not, I'm afraid.

A weird question but what are our nails made from?

[aokamins11]

@SuperHorsegirl2000 great question! They are made mostly from a tough protein called keratin.

[aokamins11]

@SuperHorsegirl2000 no problem!

I've been riding for months now but never had to tack up a horse or anything like that. Me and my friend are now looking into part loaning a horse so I need to know things like the stuff in your videos. Thank you so much! They are so helpful, you're really good at explaining things.

[aokamins11]

@picosee Good addition! Forgot that one ;)

Is the coronet band the smae thing as the coranary? i get them confused

[aokamins11]

@XoDonutxBreyeroX As far as I know, they are different names for the same thing. Typing either into google gets you the same results ;)

@aokamins11 okay thank you.(:

[077Cuddles]

a horse at my stables his name is Gus and right were his elbow is he has like kinda like a lump but it feels like jely when you touch it. Alot of horses have it but i dont know what is it please help!!! =]

[BreyerCrazy1000]

@077Cuddles I think I know what you're talking about, if ur talking about what I'm thinking of it's called the chestnut  :)

[aokamins11]

@077Cuddles If it's on the inside of the leg, then BreyerCrazy1000 is totally right. If it's on the cap of the elbow itself, it could be a blemish like a capped hock or something like that! It's hard to know without seeing it ;)
